In this picture the lathe is shown with an Anilam Digital Readout. This special version of the readout give us a tool file for tool length offsets. The readout can also be couple to the spindle drive and using the same algorithms as a CNC lathe you get Constant Surface Speed.

The current Acu-Rite readouts now have LCD screens with graphics. Colour and program save with upload and download are also available.

This class of lathe is renown for precision work. Now with constant surface speed you can also make parts with superior surface finish.
